About Akbar

Hello! my name is Akbar and I'll be pursuing an MBA at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business as a Dean's Impact Scholar (A full-tuition, merit-based scholarship). I have a fairly non-traditional background and worked really hard to craft my story. Here's how I can help you: ++ Studying for the GRE (Quant): I went from under the 50th percentile to over the 90th in about 2 months. Happy to talk strategy, tell you what worked for me, and share my study plan. ++ Telling your story to admissions: Whether you were a professional guitarist or worked as an elementary school teacher, I can help you find common themes and tie your life experiences together. If you're looking for essay reviews, I'm your guy! ++ Talking about goals, vulnerability, and passion: After my time in the US Navy, I did a lot of soul-searching to figure out the definition of purposeful living. While I don't have it figured out yet, I'd be happy to listen and help you talk through your ambitions. **If you're a transitioning service member or recent US Military veteran, I will help you with whatever you'd like, free of charge. I had so many people pour into my success that I'd be honored to pay it forward.
